Titan Force Book 1: The Rising of the Titan Force

Chapter 8

Rem was up late making accessories for some of his party, a golden bracelet for Raphtalia, golden hairclip for Filo, a necklace for Yami made of the remaining Black diamonds, a pink flower for Sakura that'll go into her hair, a silver one for Yuki, a golden armband for Kou and a tiara made from silver and crystals for Frost.

After a while, he checked on them to see if they would fit which caused Filo to wake up.

"What's wrong Dad? Can't you get any sleep?" Filo asked sleepily

"No, just came to check on you. You can go back to sleep" Rem said

"Okay...goodnight dad...thank you for checking up on us...see you tomorrow...love you..." Filo said as she drifted back to sleep

He smiled as he gently kissed her forehead "Love you too, my little glutton" He said

He looked towards the direction of the mountains where the plague infected village was at as he scowls just thinking about them.

"If I wasn't the Shield Hero, if I wasn't a hero at all....I would leave every single one of them to die for what they did..." Rem thought coldly

After a few minutes of silence after that, he sighs as he then went to sleep as he decided to get enough rest for the dreaded day tomorrow.

The next morning, the group were getting ready to head out when they saw a woman and a child looking exhausted as they passed by. Rem had made some food for them which they greatly appreciated.

"You folks would do well if you turn back while you still can" The woman said

"If you keep going down this path, you'll die" The child said

Gin wanted to say something but Otome slapped her hand over his mouth to shut him up and let Rem do all the talking. After all, Rem doesn't have his foot where his mouth is like Gin.

"We heard there's a village down this path" Rem said, he saw the dull look in the woman's eyes

"The village is devastated. Even the village elder got sick with the plague" The woman said

"We'll be alright. You focus on taking care of yourself and your kid" Irene said

Once they made sure that the mother and her son would be okay, they head out to the village with Rem making medicine for the village, even if he did want to leave them to their fate.

"What's happening there?" Raphtalia asked

"We'll know soon enough, but I'm getting a bad feeling about this" Yami said

"You're not the only one" Frost said

Rem was still making more medicine as he was thinking of things he needed to avoid. Like Filo getting eaten by Gaelion.

The group soon arrived at the village which was called Mirso Village, though Rem hated this village for what they've done to Gaelion and Wyndia who had done nothing to deserve their fate. From what Rem knew, the villagers of this village tricked Ren into killing Gaelion so that they could hoard the treasure he had for themselves and when they found Wyndia they sold her as a slave.

He'd rather leave these selfish pricks to suffer the consequences for their own greed and selfishness.

An old man soon noticed the group as he spoke "Well, what brings you to a godforsaken place like this?" He asked

"Just some traveling merchants passing through. Seems like this town needs some medical help" Rem said after calming down

"Traveling merchants you say? Wait, those Filolials! Could it be!? Is that the Heavenly Fowl!?" The old man asked after seeing the Filolials
